Chris Cornell w/ Special Guest Hemming - October 19th 2015
Beacon Theater - New York City
Words/Photos/Videos - Jay Porks
A question often floated in my direction is "Well you go to a lot of concerts, what's the best show you've ever been to?" For a while now I've been saying the same thing: Chris Cornell Solo Acoustic Songbook tour that I saw at Town Hall a few years back. There, I saw one man with a guitar put on the best show I've ...

Earlier this week, thenaturalstoner and I had what we would consider to be a perfect day in Seattle. We were in town to catch Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell at Benaroya Hall, a stop on his solo acoustic tour. After driving across the state of Washington that morning, we spent the afternoon in downtown Seattle doing all the typical tourist stuff like buying Hawks gear at the Seattle Seahawks Pro Shop, snapping photos in front of the Space Needle while making obscene gestures, ...

If this was my start to 2013, then boy is it going to be tons of musical fun. What goes on people, welcome yourselves to yet another Jay Porks Experience. Tonight it's Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City to see Soundgarden, who are on the 2nd night of a back to back here at this dreadful venue located at 34th and 8th. It's 15 degrees outside and I don't have any ... Read More

No matter what year it actually is right now, this Rock On The Range lineup for 2013 is indeed super awesome. Upon a Google search trying to see Soundgarden's set list from last night in New York City, we stumbled upon this line up of past, present and future heroes and wondered how exactly one would bring themselves to actually go to Ohio. Headliners include Soundgarden, Alice In Chains and Smashing Pumpkins. Some may say “What is it 1993 or something?”, but ... Read More

So Chris Cornell and the boys in Soundgarden are currently smashing up venues across the country, and will spend the next two night in New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom. That's not the news here.

Soundgarden 11/26/12:
Jimmy Kimmel Live Concert Stage - Hollywood, CA
Words/Photos by Reverend Justito
I am pretty sure it was 8th grade when I discovered Soundgarden and early 9th grade when I picked up Badmotorfinger. Sure Superunknown was solid but nothing ever hit me as hard as the songs on the 1992 classic.
Sadly I never had a chance to see Soundgarden the first time around. I was either too young to see shows or unable to get to a far off destination like Oakland to ... Read More

Soundgarden Unleash King Animal on The Ed Sullivan Theater Live on Letterman
We're going to change things up tonight and post some Soundgarden stuff, it's not like they've been in the news this week or anything. They've only announced some small gigs along with appearances on a few of the Late Night shows (Letterman, Kimmel), then killed it across the pond on Jools Holland before announcing a bigger tour for 2013 and have kept this writer busy posting stories about all that stuff ...

Soundgarden Hitting The Road Big In America in 2013
We swear this is not a Sounsgarden fan-site, it's just that a fan of the band happens to work here and these guys have dominated the news wire the past week or so. As promised the other day when they announced three intimate North American Gigs, Soundgarden has just unveiled a shit load dates for January and February of 2013 along with the release of their new music video for "Been Away Too Long". The tour is interesting ... Read More

Soundgarden Performs on Later... With Jools Holland
In another installment of 'England has better TV shows than us', we have Soundgarden performing on Later... With Jools Holland the other night. They have a new record out, King Animal, and it's pretty intense. It's so good that Sportscenter is using the lead single Been Away To Long to go into commercial breaks. Soundgarden is going to play some (three) shows in America (get that info by clicking here) that will sell out in 2.5 seconds. So ... Read More

Soundgarden To Play Three "Small" US Gigs
I can't name one person (besides possibly Billy Corgan) who's not excited for this rebirth of Soundgarden we've had over the past few years, with a tour in 2011 and this year bringing a new record King Animal, due out November 13th. The band has just announced Late Night appearances on David Letterman(11/12) and Jimmy Kimmel (11/26), along with three other intimate gigs that will undoubtedly sell out in a matter of moments. Those dates are listed below, ... Read More

As 2011 reaches a close, we take a look back at the year in concerts. In volume, I probably attend the least amount of total shows per year if you pool all of the contributors here at Concert Confessions. But never the less, by years end I will have reached 23 concerts, eclipsing last years total of 20. My only personal goal is to always get out to more shows then the year before. We did that in 2011, and here's hoping ... Read More

Jakob's Top 10 Concerts of the Year
I've been to a ton of concerts this year, thanks in part to my awesome Dad for putting up with my concert-going needs. Well out of the many I've been to this year, here are my top 10. I am not doing top 10 live bands, but the top 10 shows. So here we go.

thenaturalstoner's Top 10 Shows of 2011
2011 was undoubtedly my finest concert going year on record (out of 31!). I saw over 80 bands, did several awesome road trips, brought in visitors from around the country to come to the Gorge Amphitheatre, and almost all my shows were at least ‘decent’. Obviously some rise to the top, and some fall to the bottom... so here is my list of best concerts of 2011.

Spent much of this weekend just staring around in amazement, repeating the phrase “Holy freaking God” over and over again. This is a special 53rd installment of the Jay Porks Never Ending Concert Series as it took us to Newark Airport, where I hopped on a plane and came out to Washington State(Home of the Cougs) to meet up with some of the Northwest chapter of Concert Confessions: thenaturalstoner ,Mr Sparkly (Who Are Hosting Me) and possibly another 3 as at last check ...

On July 30, two epic concerts graced the west coast. One of them was LA Rising, which featured Rage Against the Machine, Muse, and Rise Against. The other was at the Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington. The bands included Soundgarden, Queens of the Stone Age, Mastodon and Meat Puppets. Many other Concert Confessions writers were there that night, so here was one side to the same story. My dad and I ... Read More

Jones Beach - Wantagh, NY
Words/Photos by Melorocker
The big sound of SOUNDGARDEN is back. I was a witness to one amazing performance from this "grunge" relic from the 90's. Singer Chris Cornell delivered like a metal god that he is...or a grunge god. Not only did he match note for note what appears on the records, (Badmotorfinger and Superunknown) he exceeded on some of those notes and took us to new vocal heights. Did it matter that this ...
